Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Entering the Game
In November, the snow outside the manor was falling lightly, making the north wind blow it into a dance.
The walls of the manor were built with polished stones. They had fallen into disrepair and were full of cracks. They could not withstand the cold of early winter, so the only thing to do was to stuff a few more cypress firewood into the fireplace.
The servant Lucy used tongs to dig out the embers in the fireplace, and the wet wood was slowly ignited by the charcoal, adding a little warmth to the bedroom.
Directly across from the fireplace, Olivia was changing into her petticoat.
She was tall, with a pretty face and light brown hair. Her toes were on a piece of felt on the ground. She lowered her head and yawned while putting on her outer skirt and adjusting her sleeves.
This is a simple, slightly loose gown, dyed dark blue. It is made of a blend of wool and linen. It is quite thick, but the color is not very bright.
"Madam? What would you like for breakfast? The two wild boars we sent back yesterday are still being pickled in the kitchen."
Lucy wiped her hands on her apron and came over to look at her young master.
Upon hearing this, Olivia took a belt made of cowhide and an iron buckle from the box, tied it up, put on her shoes and socks, then turned her head and thought about this problem for a long time.
Those two wild boars are smelly and fishy. One day is not enough to marinate them. They need to be marinated for at least a week and then made into smoked meat to see if the smell will be less.
It’s so early in the morning, let’s eat something.
"Do you have cow's milk or goat's milk now?"
"Yes." Lucy nodded.
There were two cows in the manor's barn, and her father's dowry was two sheep.
Half a can of goat milk can be produced every day, and wool can be sheared once every quarter.
Olivia breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded and continued, "Cook some oats with goat's milk, add a little honey, and some preserved lemon shreds."
Lucy remembered all of this. Although the manor did not have those expensive spices, it still had what the lady had mentioned.
After Lucy left, Olivia sat at the table combing her hair, then raised her hand and touched the family crest ring on her finger.
A transparent panel immediately appeared in front of her eyes.
I opened the sign-in bar and clicked it.
"Daily sign-in! Experience +1"
Olivia sighed. This was already her fourth day in this strange world.
Four days ago, she was still a corporate slave who had just entered the society.
With a meager salary, she worked overtime until eight or nine in the evening before getting home. After returning to her small one-room rental house, she ate some traditional Chinese takeout and opened the game as usual.
Unexpectedly, a natural disaster occurred and she was killed by a collapsed house.
At that time, Olivia was preparing to play a second-person farming management and upgrading game with a high degree of freedom.
Lady Knight Simulator
The background of the game is imaginary and empty, with no specific era.
But the style is early medieval, and the game map is also fictional, a randomly generated independent continent.
She is now in a small country called Alta, and is the daughter of an old knight on the border of the small country.
She was arranged by her family to marry another young knight.
The game's promotion is exaggerated, saying that the game has healing farming, infrastructure construction, business warfare, power struggles, and even maiden love, character card drawing and other gameplay.
However, she needs to start from a dilapidated manor and work slowly.
At that time, Olivia had just chosen a name for herself in the settings bar, adjusted her appearance and attributes, and finished drawing the map.
Then, Olivia's life was taken away by the ceiling in a magnificent way.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that she had traveled through time.
She entered the game world before she had time to start playing.
As a bride about to get married, she sat in a slightly decorated carriage, ready to enter the town church.
She realized from her original body's memories that the world before her was just like the background setting in the game.
The land was poor and productivity was backward; it was a feudal classical era of slavery.
Famine, war, and harsh climate meant that even a small lord would not be able to have enough food and drink if he did not manage his business well.
Olivia's original intention of playing this farming game was because of the difficult and unique background settings.
But these false settings floating on the screen have become real life, and there is only one thought in her mind: die!
What's the point of staying in such a world?
Although she was also alone in her previous life, with no family, few friends, and no money in her pocket, and although being a social animal made her want to die every day...
But at least you can still enjoy the convenience of modern life.
There is a difference between farming games and real farming!
But Olivia was thinking about how to die less painfully.
She unexpectedly discovered that she had not only traveled into the medieval world set in the game, but also brought with her the simulator's gaming system.
As long as you touch the ring on your hand, the game system interface will pop up automatically.
Things suddenly became complicated.
After studying it, Olivia discovered that although the system was brought over, many functions were not unlocked, and only two buttons on the left side remained on the interface.
「Map」「Mission」
There is another value on the right side of the main page.
Experience Points
After taking a quick look and closing the panel, Olivia was dragged into the church by a group of strangers to sign a marriage contract.
Before she could figure out the things in the system, she saw the most important fixed NPC in the game.
That is her husband, Caesar Heliones.
Before the game starts, players can personalize the knight's parameters according to their preferences.
For example, naming, face shaping, adding personality attributes, and krypton gold skill points.
The name Caesar, his appearance, personality, and even the sword he usually carries are almost exactly the same as what Olivia set up in the game, as if the character portrait has come to life.
Olivia pursed her lips, reluctantly forgave the game world, and completed the ritual.
Having said that.
In fact, there was nothing interesting about living a life of slavery day after day without any challenges in my previous life.
Isn’t it just farming? No matter how bad she is, she still has a system.
You have a bit of the aura of a protagonist, so you can't starve yourself to death, right?
At least she doesn't have to work here, and she doesn't have to pay back the loan.
Moreover, she was very interested in Caesar, an NPC whose parameters she had completely adjusted and created.
So, Olivia suddenly became enlightened without much hesitation and accepted her new life where she no longer had to be a hopeless office worker.
In the game setting, she and Caesar were married blindly at the behest of their parents and had never met before.
Caesar's mother died early, so he worked as a servant in the castle of the earl, the lord of this county, since he was a child, learning various skills.
Caesar's father died not long ago, and he had to return to the village to inherit his knighthood and fiefdom.
The head lord of his father's fiefdom was Baron Bergru.
The baron followed the instructions of his immediate superior, the Count, and was ready to help Caesar get married, so he found Olivia's father and personally arranged the matchmaking.
Olivia's father's surname was Renault, and he was also a knight. His fiefdom was next to Caesar's, and he was also a colleague of Caesar's father. The two often patrolled the river border together.
Therefore, Knight Renault was very familiar with Caesar's family situation. He knew that although his family was not very wealthy among the knights, Caesar's parents were both gone and he had few brothers and sisters. If she married him, she would be able to take charge of the family, so he agreed to the marriage.
As for Caesar, he had no right to say no to his superiors' arrangements, which showed his respect for him. With his in-laws, he could better integrate into the work environment.
He had never thought about what his wife would be like before. When he saw Olivia for the first time at the wedding, it was obvious that his mind was uncontrollable and he fell in love.
Olivia looked at the man's attitude and knew that the system must have worked.
I guess it must be because she wanted to simplify things and randomly modified the character attributes of this NPC.
At that time, she just wanted a useful tool, so she spent all her points and maxed out her strength and loyalty.
I didn't expect to be able to produce such an effect.
On the very small map, she could see Caesar's icon.
The icon's "happy" status remained from the wedding day until now, three days later.
The map function is currently only at the first level, and about ten hectares of land can be seen within the range.
This area also happened to be the area of Caesar and her fiefdom.
It includes a village, a small wetland by the river, a small section of not-so-steep mountain jungle, as well as farmland near the village and the manor, and a small lake connected to the stream.
The place is not small for a knight's fief, but it is on the border of the kingdom, close to the north, and has a bad climate, so it is not worth much.
At this moment, we can see that Caesar is patrolling the jungle with Knight Renault and a dozen soldiers.
In the background setting of the game, there are twelve small countries on the continent, and they have been fighting each other for nearly a hundred years, causing chaos.
Alta has been relatively peaceful in the past two years, but the neighboring country of Lenya is in chaos.
It is winter now, and this place is on the border. Occasionally, some bandits and fleeing Lenyas will cross the river that divides the border and come to the nearby villages to rob houses or steal granaries.
If things go wrong, it may even affect the nearby towns and ports, causing the Baron to lose property.
So every day around six o'clock, Lucy's husband, George, Caesar's knight squire.
He would climb up the round tower on the west side of the house and light a bonfire. When several serving soldiers in the village saw the fire, they would put on their equipment and wait outside the manor.
It was daybreak, the snow was still whistling outside, and the road was unclear. Caesar put on full plate armor and sword, and rode out with the soldiers to relieve the guard.
Usually, they cooperate with several knights from neighboring villages.
If they encountered no enemies, they would also cooperate in hunting in the mountains and forests within the fiefdom area, and all the prey would be divided equally among them to supplement their family income.
For example, yesterday, I was lucky enough to bring back two wild boars.
Every day was different. The day before yesterday it was a complete deerskin that was being tanned by the servants in the manor.
Olivia closed the map, poured some clean water into her hands, combed her hair, tied it into a braid and put it up, then started looking at the taskbar again.

The counter was also dirty and covered with dust, resulting in no one being interested in buying candied fruits, toffee, biscuits and other foods.
There are also fast-moving consumer goods such as soap, sealing wax, baking soda, etc. that have been sold out and have not been restocked yet...
